Our community loves the east

Two hospital staff members with their hands on their hearts

This February, you’ll see an outpouring of love from the community for our hospital as local East Toronto businesses rally together to support the Heart of the East campaign, and our new Love the East program for local organizations!

As you eat, drink, and shop locally this month, you'll notice several businesses with fundraising promotions, particularly over Valentine’s Day weekend.

You (and your friends and family!) can show your love for Michael Garron Hospital by visiting Grinder Coffee on Gerrard, Morgans on the Danforth, Celena's Bakery, and more. These businesses are passionate about our hospital and staff, so please frequent them and don’t forget to mention you are an appreciative MGH employee.

Also, did you know that several local restaurants offer a discount to our staff? Remember to check iCare for great deals and bring your MGH identification.

  • Morgans (1282 Danforth) – Enjoy a 10% discount  at this popular lunch and dinner spot with MGH identification. *Restrictions apply.

During February, Morgan's will be donating back the value of this staff promotion, so not only will you enjoy a great meal and savings, you’ll be supporting the hospital. Ask for Elinor and tell her you’re a hospital employee….she’d love to see you.

  • SLATE Restaurant & Bar (2237 Queen Street East) – This new Beach restaurant opened in the fall, and they’ve already supported our hospital through fundraising. Visit and enjoy 15% off appetizers and mains with hospital ID. **Restrictions apply

Together, we’ll show how much we LOVE THE EAST.

*Morgans on the Danforth discount is valid for employee only, not guests. It does not apply to beverages or promotions. Valid hospital ID must be presented.

**SLATE discount is for appetizers and main dishes, not dessert or beverages. Valid for employee only, not guests. Cannot be combined with other discounts or promotions. Dine in only unless valid ID card is presented upon arrival for pickup.
